Just a quick Poll,...
I know when I got my 1st gen in late 99, I had a choice for the 2nd Gens as they had just came out, but I really thought they were nasty,... but they have grown on me,.. mind you I still would have gotten my 1st gen over the 2nd if I had to do it all over again,... except have all the OEM changes they did for the 2001's like the double syncros, as the shifting is WAY smoother, well I guess everything except for the 2 cats from the Cali emmissions,... anyway,.. since this is a RD forum,... I'd thought I have a poll.

Not asking what gen you have, but what Gen would you WANT to have, 1st or 2nd, only in an esthetic way

Yes, I'm bored! lol.gif

If I had a choice I would take the second gen , but with the first gen front end. I have never been too fond of the "Spider Eyes" of the second gens.

I've never heard them referred to as Spider Eyes...

I would say 2nd gen. I like the body styling and interior more, along with headlight and tails.

There are several first gens that I really love... like KayJai's, Xorro's, Randoms, and NightShark (pic below)
I would still get the 2nd gen, but damn, some of the first gens are gorgeous...

Majik,.. that ain't my tib in my sig,... it's just a REALLY nice kit.

But it will be someday!

Here's mine:

Bodykit will probably be last on the list
I've got the handling now,... can't really improve on that,... except for maybe some better rubber.
Next will be power,... preferably a nice S/C,... I like to have power all the way through the revs.
Then body kit.
Hopefully looking like this one day:
